Ⅶ.阅读理解
A friend asks you to be a volunteer.Your husband asks you to glance over an e-mail he is writing to his boss.You say you’d love to.Really!But...“I don’ t have time.”
It seems plausible(有道理的).We’re all busy these days,right But there are reasons not to use these four words,at least with yourself.
Here’s the big one:it is not true.You tell yourself “I don’t have time” to exercise,but we all have 168 hours a week.If someone offered to pay you $100,000 a week to go to the gym for 5 of those 168 hours,you would probably find the time to do it.Since that isn’t going to happen,this is a more accurate statement:“It’s not a priority(优先处理的事).”
There are a million things we could be doing with our time;some are priorities and some are not,even if it’s wrong to say so.Try it.“I’m not going to read to you tonight,sweetie,because it’s not a priority.Daddy’s priority is to check his e-mails.”
Using the words “I don’t have time” keeps us from admitting to the fact that how we spend our time is a choice.It puts the responsibility for our lives on someone else:a boss,a client or a family member.
Better to be truthful:“I have another volunteer job on which I am focusing my energy right now.It is the cause that is most important to me.” Or,to your husband “I wish you had mentioned this earlier.Right now,my priority is to get our children dressed and out of the door for school.I will be available around lunch time if you would like to talk.”
1.What does the word “it” in the third paragraph refer to
A.Saying “I don’t have time.”
B.Saying “We are all busy today.”
C.Checking your husband’s e-mail.
D.Telling your friend you won’t volunteer.
提示:词义猜测题。根据文章前三段的内容可知,此处it指代上文中的“I don’t have time.”。
答案:A
2.From the third paragraph we can learn that .
A.it is enough to exercise for five hours a week
B.we are too busy to exercise these days
C.we can earn $100,000 a week by exercising
D.we don’t often regard exercise as priority
提示:推理判断题。根据第三段尤其是第三段中的“Since that isn’t going to happen,this is a more accurate statement:‘It’s not a priority(优先处理的事).’”可知选D项。
答案:D
3.Which would be the best answer if your friend asks you to be a volunteer
A.I have to check my e-mails first.
B.I already have a volunteer job that I enjoy.
C.I cannot find any time to do it.
D.I have a million things to do.
提示:细节理解题。根据第六段中的“I have another volunteer job on which I am focusing my energy right now.It is the cause that is most important to me.”可知,答案为B项。
答案:B
